Parrot os is good i am also using parrot os
but still there are small issues
sometimes while i am using my mouse left click don't work suddenly
i found solution to this problem
by entering this command solve this problem
sudo udevadm trigger
but still i am also a average beginner
when this issue happen in starting stage i didn't understand why
this is a small issue
if parrot os team fix this issue default it's very helpful to beginners
and yes of course this os is very low end
just use 600MB ram
run very smoothly , installer is also very user friendly ( calamares ) 10 times better than kali

I use it with kde for its flexibility, its security tool and daily use. Very smooth. Simple to install and use. Powerful collection of security and network check tool. No need to install one at once. On Firefox there are various link to documentation. Simple anonymize tools for people in illiberal country with strict surveillance like Russia, China or USA. Installed Latte for best OSX like experience and some utility like amule, torrent, calibre, free42, mc but still stock image is perfect. Better to install boot Mate and KDE on my experience.
People who use this don't care about wallpapers. But here they are beautiful. Although that is irrelevant. The beauty of Linux is its functionality. Because it's rare. Mate DE is strange and often prone to bugs. Not here. The Parrot OS development team has done an amazing job.
Here's why I use this distro:
The first laptop I installed Linux on was a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo about fifteen years ago. Over time, I changed machines and therefore different distributions. Now after many years (I'm sorry I didn't realize it earlier) I can say one important thing about Linux distributions - each one has its own brand on which it works flawlessly. So I had Solus on a Fujitsu Lifebook U727 - it didn't work at all. I used Solus because I was used to it when I had a Thinkpad T450 and Thinkpad T420 before that. Now that Solus is a half-dead distro, I tried Windows 11. It runs Windows, but on this laptop, not the way I'd like. Plus I have another machine (Asus Vivobook X507UF) for Windows because it has Nvidia dedicated graphics and therefore I didn't want to throw Linux on it.
The bottom line is that Linux introduced me to a world that is hard to describe in words. The world of Cyber Security. A world where hacking is a game. I never had money for expensive new computers, I always worked with what I had and that was often not enough. For example, I now have two laptops that I bought for 450 euros. With the right software for each of them, there are no limits. Software development or whatever comes to mind is now at my fingertips.
Considering that Parrot OS is a Debian based distro, it works perfectly on a 12" Fujitsu Lifebook U727 with 8GB RAM and i5-6300U CPU. Since I have two laptops now I can hack myself and learn some interesting skills in the process.
I do all this as a hobby. I'm not officially educated and I'm not young enough to expect a career out of all this. I just hope to acquire certain skills so that I can acquire new ones faster. You yourself witness the time when the Neural Network expands exponentially. You need the right tools to make progress regardless of the goal.
Parrot OS is THE right tool.
